USS Midway: Bridge

Some pictures from the “island” of the aircraft carrier USS Midway. On the left is Primary Flight Control, which overlooks the flight deck from the side of the island. Below, the bridge, at the front.

These interior shots are all on Portra 400nc, a film I'm coming to like quite a lot. With just enough exposure to allow hand-holding wide open, detail is actually held in the sun-lit highlights outside. Making it darker while keeping the interior bright enough looks unnatural, but the detail is there and you can see it in these images. Try that with digital.
